Amethyst Glory
"Cyprus 1982. A family holiday that would turn out to have a big impact on me. Visiting my grandparents on their sailing boat home the 'Amethyst Glory' and seeing the very real possibilities of adventure and self exploration at such a young age planted deep rooted seeds which I am only just beginning to understand. My beautiful family the Houghtons, you made me. This is for you."Simon Houghton aka Sneaky is a Manchester born and bred cellist, bass player, arranger, composer and DJ operating out …
Aux Pieds de la Nuit
Aidan Moffat gets woozily sinister on his first album as Nyx Nótt. "Au Pieds de la Nuit" shows an artist drifting steadily into newer and more esoteric places. This is night music, make no mistake about that.

Upside Down Smile
Knockout punch of computer music noise and hardcore techno razz from Ewa Justka, a catalytic figure on the live algorithmic coding circuit.
Solemnities
Finlay Shakespeare is a freak. With this, his second album for Mego Editions, he confirms this. As a one man band it often strikes the listener as bewildering that he can do all this; the programming sits firmly in the realms of genius, the constant punch of melody upon melody leaves a pleasant sting of surprise and as a lyric writer there’s a part of his moniker that seems apt.
O Filho De José e Maria

Flaviola e o Bando do Sol

It is a contemporary sounding album that features the likes of Zé De Flauta, Lula Côrtes and Robertinho de Recife. Flaviola’s music has been compare…

Tea With Holger
Smith & Mudd were invited to contribute to KPM’s “Album Shorts” project. The results are predictably wonderful. In classic library record sleeve style, these tracks are collectively described as “Balearic themes including breezy soul, sun-dappled melodies, warm pianos and sweeping strings”.

Antonin Artaud
**100 copies** In hardbound embossed special package (like previous edition in this series), numbered & signed. The work of Antonin Artaud (1896-1948), the French dramatist, poet, essayist, actor, and theatre director, was a great inspiration and stimulant for me when I started out as a vocal performer. His pioneering writings on theatre gave me the freedom to venture much further into madness on stage, while still being perceived as authentic and powerful. In Artaud’s French writings short frag…

All o…
